10 Best Android phone under Rs. 10,000

Hello guys today i am going to show you the 10 Best Android phone under Rs. 10,000. Looking for the best phone under 10000 Rs? Believe me, finding it is a real challenging task as there are many good smartphones under 10000 Rs. and this is the most competitive price range. In the recent times, we have seen some high quality, powerful and equally good smartphones from many companies in this range, which has made it even more difficult for the buyers to decide which one is the best. We believe that specifications of the phones just tell the half story, a great user experience matters more than great specifications. So, while preparing this list we have considered everything, the specifications, hardware, software (UI), real-world performance, user experience, brand value, after sales service and more. We see a phone as a complete package which should at the end deliver great satisfaction to the user and our rankings are based on the same principles.

1. Lenovo K3 Note:

It was the game changer phone when it was launched! The 10,000 Rs. segment offered phones with Octa core processor, 2 GB RAM, 5.5 inches screen with decent HD display, 2500 mAh+ batteries and all and these specs were still considered good at this price point. But Lenovo was determined to introduce great technologies at breakthrough prices, it launched the K3 Note which was the first phone to come with FHD display under 10,000 Rs, it certainly raised the bar high but, now it has got many rivals with FHD screen at the same price. Talking about the display, it is awesome with good viewing angles and offers great 401 ppi pixel density! When it comes to performance, the K3 Note runs on 64-bit Octa-core 1.7 GHz Mediatek MT6752 Processor coupled with 2 GB RAM which offers good performance and can handle most tasks smoothly, but it heats up a bit as well. If we talk about the design, the phone has good build quality but a simple design. The phone packs a 13 MP rear and 5 MP front camera and the picture quality of both the cameras is decent but not the best you will get at this price. The phone runs on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop with Lenovo’s customized skin running on top of it. It is good on storage with 16 GB internal and 32 expandable memory options. The K3 Note supports dual-sim and 4G. And when it comes to another important aspect – the battery life, the K3 Note with its 2900 mAh battery offers a good battery life, which is also better than the similarly specced Yureka Plus. Overall, it is a very good phone which offers a complete package but, it is now facing a tough competition from newly launched phones which have even better specs but, the K3 Note still delivers a great user experience and is still the best mobile under 10000 Rs.

2. XOLO Black 1X:

XOLO has recently added a new phone ‘Black 1X’ in its flagship BLACK series. The phone is heavily loaded with features and comes with one of the best specs under 10000 Rs. When you take the first look at this beautiful phone, you will find it different from other phones. It has got metallic sides, leather finish on top and bottom and glass on the back, the build quality is very good and the phone feels premium. It weighs just 125 grams and has thickness of 7.6mm. It has got a 5 inches Full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) display with great 441 ppi pixel density, the screen is protected with Dragontrail Glass and the display quality is very good. The phone is powered by 1.3 GHz Mediatek MT6753 Octa-core Processor coupled with 3 GB RAM and delivers very good performance.

It comes with 32 GB internal storage which is expandable upto 128 GB via microSD but, uses sim 2 slot so at a time you can either use second sim or the memory card. The phone also supports USB OTG. The phone is backed by a 2400 mAh Li-Polymer battery. Overall, it is very powerful phone with good design and all-round features and can be a very good buying choice at this price.

3. Micromax Yu Yureka Plus:

Earlier the Yu Yureka had completely revolutionized the 10,000 Rs segment and now the company has made it even better by launching the Yureka Plus which comes with a Full HD display. A year earlier you wouldn’t have got the phone with this specs and quality even at 25,000 Rs. So, let’s take a look at the phone. The Yureka Plus has got a very sturdy design. It is powered by a 64-bit Octa Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Processor which is powerful but it heated badly in the Yureka, now with software updates and optimizations this issue is less. It has got 2 GB RAM, which makes the phone capable to handle heavy gaming and multi-tasking smoothly. Earlier the phone was launched with Cyanogen OS but now the company has relaunched it with stock Android. It has got a large 5.5 inches screen which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The Full HD screen with 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution offers the pixel density of 401 ppi. Another important thing is that it has got good picture quality with the 13 MP rear and 5 MP front cameras. It is good on storage also, it comes with 16 GB internal memory (12.5 GB user accessible) which can be expanded upto 32 GB. With the 2500 mAh Li-Ion battery the phone provides decent battery life. The phone now comes in two colors, moondust grey and alabaster white. Overall, with good specs, great camera, excellent build quality and good gaming experience, it is undoubtedly a great phone to buy under 10,000 Rs. If you want a 5 inches phone the Micromax Canvas Knight 2 can also be a good choice at Rs. 9,999.
